Hotel accommodation just a stone's throw from Lake Windermere. The ideal location to explore the English Lake District.

This unique Lake District hotel only two minutes stroll from Lake Windermere and the village of Bowness, is an oasis of peace and tranquillity.

The Burn How’s unique layout is refreshingly different to most hotels; all the bedrooms are located outside of the main building within the gardens – winner of Windermere in Bloom 2023.
Each room is provided your own dedicated car parking space and many have a private balcony.

Hidden in the centre of the Lake District’s leading destination town, this Garden retreat offers a very different experience from which to discover the most beautiful corner of England.

Huge room and amazing gardens
Stayed here after walking the dales way. Gorgeous gardens with lovely birds to watch at breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. Huge rooms, motel style, with a nice balcony. Easy parking and good location for lake and Bowness shops.
The garden is superb; the hotel even more so!
We have stayed at the Burn How a number of times. The comfort is very good; the food excellent; and the staff (including proprietors) appear to have 'instant memory syndrome' each time we arrive. Happy staff produce very happy customers/visitors.
Splendid. Would book here again
Booked a dinner, bed and breakfast package at Burn How for my parents. They loved everything about this hotel, the garden room, the breakfast, the restaurant food, the staff. I also found the staff helpful when dealing with my booking from another country/time zone, and not following their usual payment process. The location is also great, being quieter than central Bowness/Windermere, but only a short stroll to the lake or the town centre. My parents say they would love to stay there again, which says it all really.
Fabulous. Nothing to much trouble for the staff
Had an amazing time here. Our room was lovely and clean with extra measures in place. Check in smooth and quick. Breakfast was really nice and tasty. Thank you to the young man and Linda for a great stay.
Short break in Bowness
Had a lovely stay here. Room was very large, warm room with very clean bathroom. Tea and coffee facilities in room also iron and hair dryer. Staff were very polite and helpful throughout our stay and we had superb breakfasts. Parking a real bonus just outside the chalet room. Would highly recommend
Perfect for our needs
Six walkers in three twin rooms and everything spot on Lovely friendly staff and really good breakfasts. Rooms clean,warm and comfy. Really handy for Bowness centre. Just to reiterate the staff are a really mixed group from youngsters to slightly less young but all super efficient and welcoming, Well done
